Forex Trading Terms — Understanding Margin: A Complete Guide for Beginner

Image
  In the swiftly evolving world of foreign currency trading, every trader must have a grasp on what margin means to be successful. That holds whether you're an enthusiastic high schooler wanting to know what makes financial markets sway or an Ivy League university student delving into real-world investment prospects. The fast and sometimes loose world of forex trading has plenty of gotchas, and understanding margin and leverage in both the right and wrong contexts can keep you on the straight and narrow in the sometimes shady landscape of forex trading. What is Margin Trading Margin trading is one of the strongest tools a forex trader possesses. It enables a trader to control a position much larger than his or her actual investment. Although forex is already a highly leveraged investment (1:100 on average), margin trading allows investors to control even larger positions. Imagine being able to buy not just 100 units of something but 1,000 or even 10,000, using the same amount of...

Margin Call Explained How to Protect Your Forex Account from Forced Liquidation

Image
  A margin call is one of the most essential concepts that every forex trader needs to learn about, although it is not uncommon among beginners for a handful to have misconceptions about it. In other words, you get a margin call when your trading account’s balance no longer meets the broker’s margin requirements, which can then block your account from further trading until you either deposit the funds needed or close enough positions to free up the required collateral to continue. Before you can understand what a margin call is, you have to know the "basics" of margin trading. When you trade forex, you don’t pay the full value of your position upfront. You’re not paying the full price for a piece of cake; instead, you’re putting down a “margin,” a fraction of the full cost. You can control a big trading position with a smaller account balance - that’s known as leverage. Understanding Margin and Margin Level To be able to manage margin calls, you should have a thorough un...

Mastering Fibonacci Retracement in Forex Trading: A Complete Beginner to Advanced Guide

Image
  Take a stroll through a sunflower field and incredibly enough, you will realize something. Count the spirals from the centre of the flower head outward, and you will see specific patterns, to be exact - 21, 34, 55, 89, etc. These are not random numbers - they are part of the Fibonacci series.   The Fibonacci series is a famous sequence of numbers, where the value of each number (aside from the first two) is equal to the two preceding numbers in the sequence. This mathematical formula shapes so much of the world we see, from the number of chambers in a nautilus shell, to the number of branches on trees.   An interesting thought is that the Fibonacci series is used, still, to identify where price movement "should not" surpass in modern financial markets. Traders from around the world, apply these Fibonacci ratios to outline where currency values may pause, reverse or find support within the pullback. But, why does this concept, that was discovered centuries ago from...

Understanding flat markets in Forex - The ultimate guide to flat markets for beginners and experts

Image
  Did you ever notice that sometimes the prices of currencies appear trapped, like they are stuck in neutral? This is called a flat market or sideways market, which is defined by prices trading within a limited range with no identifiable trend emerging. Here's an example: You're watching EUR/USD. It has traded between 1.1000 and 1.1020 for the past five days, going back and forth like a tennis ball bouncing between two walls. That, my friends, is a flat market. To better illustrate this for beginners, think of a student whose scores in exams continue to fall from the 70-75 point range. With every exam, the student's scores remain in the range of 70-75 points. The student's exam performance is similar to currency pairs in flat markets, in that the performance range can be predictable. Understanding flat markets is important for forex traders because flat market conditions occur more frequently than one realizes. Learning how to identify flat market conditions a...
